Attitudes and Barriers to Physical Activity and Exercise Self-Efficacy Among Chinese Pregnant Women: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Most pregnant women do not reach the recommendation for physical activity (PA). As a subcategory of PA, exercise is also essential. Evidence on pregnant women's attitudes and barriers to PA and exercise self-efficacy in China is scarce. To explore the levels and influencing factors of attitudes and barriers to PA and exercise self-efficacy among pregnant women. A cross-sectional study of 311 pregnant women was conducted from August to December 2022. Individual characteristics, pregnant women's attitudes toward exercise, barriers to prenatal PA and exercise, and exercise self-efficacy were measured using the self-designed demographic questionnaire, pregnant women's attitudes toward exercise questionnaire, barriers to prenatal PA and exercise questionnaire, and the pregnancy exercise self-efficacy scale, respectively. More than 90% of pregnant women believed exercise benefits themselves and their babies, and 40.8% of pregnant women did not know how to exercise. Women encounter different types of barriers to PA and exercise. Intrapersonal barriers included the proportion of feelings of tiredness (56.6%), low energy (54.7%), lack of interest or motivation (49.2%), feelings of illness and morning sickness (46.6%), and large body weight (43.7%). Interpersonal barriers included pregnant women being advised to avoid PA and exercise (49.2%), lack of clear advice about the intensity and dose of exercise (41.8%), no one to exercise with (38.9%), and lack of advice from healthcare professionals (38.6%). Weather conditions were the most significant environmental barriers (41.2%). The total score of pregnancy exercise self-efficacy was (38.50±7.33). Education level, parity, and attitudes toward exercise independently predict pregnant women's attitudes toward exercise, barriers to prenatal PA and exercise, and exercise self-efficacy, respectively. Pregnant women have a favorable attitude toward exercise and relatively good exercise self-efficacy but lack knowledge of exercise. They face numerous barriers.

Social support for exercise from pregnancy to postpartum and the potential impact of a mobile application: A randomized control pilot trial in Southern United States

This study compared perceived social support among women of all body mass index (BMI) categories with an attempt to assess the efficacy of the BumptUp® mobile application to improve social support for exercise during pregnancy and postpartum. Thirty-five pregnant women living in Southern United States were included in the sample. The intervention group received access to the BumptUp® mobile application that was designed to promote physical activity during pregnancy and postpartum. The control group received an evidence-based educational brochure. Perceived social support for exercise was assessed at four-time points using the social support and exercise survey. Outcomes were evaluated at 23–25, 35–37 gestational weeks, and 6 and 12 weeks postpartum. Based on their pre-pregnancy weight and height, BMI was computed to categorize participants into lean, overweight, and obese groups. Social support across BMI categories and between control and intervention groups were compared using linear mixed-effect models. Women grouped in the overweight and obese BMI categories reported receiving significantly lower levels of social support for exercise than women in the lean category throughout pregnancy and postpartum during mid-pregnancy, late pregnancy, and at 12 weeks postpartum (p < 0.05). Although the intervention group received higher social support than the control group throughout all four assessment points, the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Women with a pre-pregnancy BMI of overweight and obese received lower social support for exercise during pregnancy and postpartum. The efficacy of BumptUp® to improve perceived social support for exercise in pregnancy and postpartum was not evident in the results.

Maternal healthy lifestyle score and offspring birth outcomes: secondary analyses of the PEARS RCT

Abstract Background The influence of maternal lifestyle behaviours during pregnancy on offspring outcomes has been investigated individually. A composite Healthy Lifestyle Score (HLS) comprising low-risk protective lifestyle behaviours can be useful for studying links between overall lifestyle and health outcomes. We aimed to study links between HLS and its components in early and late pregnancy with birth outcomes among women with overweight and obesity (OWOB), as their offspring may be at increased risk for adverse birth outcomes. Methods Secondary analyses were conducted with data from the PEARS (Pregnancy Exercise And nutrition Research Study) trial, a RCT of a diet and exercise lifestyle intervention to prevent gestational diabetes. HLSs (scored 0-5) based on information about maternal diet (AHEI-P), exercise (MET-minutes), alcohol consumption, smoking, and sleep habits were created for 334 and 289 mothers in early (14-16 weeks gestation) and late pregnancy (28 weeks gestation), respectively. Higher HLSs indicate a healthier overall lifestyle. Regression analyses examined associations of HLSs and individual lifestyle factors with adverse birth outcomes; low birthweight (BW), macrosomia and being born small or large for gestational age (SGA or LGA). Results Mean HLS was 3.38 in early, and 3.19 in late pregnancy. Only 12% and 10% of mothers had the maximum HLS in early and late pregnancy. Preliminary results indicated no strong links between composite HLSs and birth outcomes. Examination of the individual factors revealed that not smoking in early and late pregnancy was linked to a decreased risk for SGA (OR: 0.23, 95% CI: 0.07-0.74, p &amp;lt; 0.01; OR: 0.12, 95% CI: 0.04-0.35, p &amp;lt; 0.01) and low BW (OR: 0.11, 95% CI: 0.02-0.62, p = 0.01; OR: 0.10, 95% CI: 0.02-0.57, p = 0.01) (unadjusted results). Conclusions Adherence to a healthy lifestyle among pregnant women with OWOB can be improved. Our results highlight the importance of smoking cessation in pregnancy to avoid adverse birth outcomes. Key messages • Many pregnant women with OWOB do not adhere to a healthy lifestyle. • Smoking cessation in pregnancy is important to reduce the risk of adverse birth outcomes.

Maternal healthy lifestyle score and psychological well-being: secondary analyses of the PEARS RCT

Abstract Background The associations between lifestyle behaviours and well-being are still poorly understood, particularly in the antenatal period when women are potentially exposed to increased stress and anxiety. Moreover, lifestyle behaviours have often been investigated individually, while a Healthy Lifestyle Score (HLS) comprising low-risk protective lifestyle behaviours can be useful for studying links between overall lifestyle and health and psychosocial outcomes. Therefore, our aim was to study associations between maternal HLS in early and late pregnancy and psychological well-being. We focused on women with overweight and obesity (OWOB), as they may be at higher risk of psychosocial vulnerability. Methods Secondary analyses were conducted with data from the PEARS (Pregnancy Exercise And nutrition Research Study) trial, a randomized controlled trial of a diet and exercise lifestyle intervention with smartphone application support to prevent gestational diabetes. HLSs (scored 0-5) based on information about maternal diet (AHEI-P), exercise (MET-minutes), alcohol consumption, smoking, and sleep habits were created for 334 and 289 mothers in early (14-16 weeks gestation) and late pregnancy (28 weeks gestation), respectively. Higher HLSs indicate a healthier overall lifestyle. Correlations and regression analyses examined HLS associations with well-being (WHO-5, scored 0-100) in early and late pregnancy. Results Mean pregravid BMI was 29.2. Mean well-being score was 56.3 in early and 60.7 in late pregnancy. In early pregnancy, 18% of mothers scored 0-2 on HLS, 35% scored 3, and 47% scored 4-5. In late pregnancy, this was 27%, 34% and 39% respectively. Preliminary results show significant positive associations between HLSs and well-being at both time points (r's ranging between 0.16 and 0.29, all p &amp;lt; 0.05). Conclusions Higher adherence to healthy lifestyle behaviours in mothers with OWOB was linked with higher well-being throughout pregnancy. Key messages • Many pregnant women with OWOB do not adhere to a healthy lifestyle. • Well-being and a healthy lifestyle are related throughout pregnancy.
